Our Washington Letter
From Our Regular Correspondent.


Washington, Feb. 18th, 1881.
The PRINCIPAL topic of comment at
the Capital during the past few days
was the Presidents veto of the big
Pension bill. Many were prepared for
the veto, however. 1t was the logical
sequence of Mr.. Cleveland action with
regard to private pension bills, and he
could not have been consistent had he
adopted any other course IF this pen
sion business is not stopped shortly it
will hopelessly engult the nation in
debt ED.)
1t is too soon to say what Cong ress
will do about it. It's future depends
much upon the manner in which the
veto is received by the country. The
humiliating confession had as well be
made that our National Legislators
follow public opinion, instead of lead.
ing it.
Some members of the House who yot
ed for this remarkable pension bill say
now that they suppose the President is
right about it. Southern members are
unqualified in their approval of the
veto, and declare it will secure to Mr..
Cleveland the vote of southern delee
gates to the Democratic convention
and insure his nomination.
Others who do not agree wit h the
President, acknowledge that the veto
message is very able State paper and
that it will be almost impossible now
to pass the bill over the veto. Repre-
sentative Warner of Ohio. was opposed
to the principle of the disability Pen
sion bill as whole, but he maintains
that the Mexican Pension bill contain
ed much of the same principle, and
that the President would be more con-
sistent and his position stronger had
he vetoed both.
Great excitement centred in the per-
sonai OF the counsel engaged in the
great telephone contest which has been
argued here for the last two weeks in
the Supreme Court. The appellants
were represented by an immense array
of counsel from all parts of the country
They were all able lawyers and COM
manded close attention from che crowd
ed audiences which heard them. The
great importance of this case will be
better understood by the fact that the
interests based on the Bell patents is
now worth over $10O,00O,OOO.
The Supreme Court is now taking its
spring vacs ton, and several months
may elapse before it will render it's de-
cision.
The Presidents pastor complains
that he is grievously afflicted with Office
seekers. Why, said he. no one has any
idea of the trouble to which 1 am daily
subjected. I dare say my mail is as
large as Cabinet officers, and the re-
quests cover everything that can be
thought of. He says it does not avail
him much to declare that he has no
influence at the White House. That
plea is construed as ruse to relieve
himself of responsibility, and letters,
prayers and entreaties are then redoub-
led to induce him to lend a helping
hand to the applicant.
(There is but one cure for this Office
scramble-lower salaries ED.)

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's Ger
man Syrup within few years has aston
ished the world. 1t is without doubt the
safest and best remedy ever discovered for
the speedy and effectual cure of Coughs,
Gods and the severcst Lung troubles. II
acts on an entirely different principle from
the usual prescriptions given by Physicians,
as it does not dry up Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the con-
trary removes the cause Of the trouble, heals
the parts affected and leaves them in q
purely healthy condition. A bottle kept
in the house for use when the diseases
make their appearance, will save doctors
bills and long spell OF serious illness.
A trial will convince you of these facts. It
is positively sold by all druggists and gem
eral dealers in the land. Price, rs cents,

A FrichtfnI ACCIDENT.

TACOMA, March 10th.-A frightful aeci-
dent happened in this city this morning,
resulting in the death, from burns, of an
inmate of house Of ill-fame named Daisy
Meyers, better known among the people of
her class as Daisy. She has lived for the
past four years in the house of a notorious
courtesan known as Annie Walker. This
morning at o'clock Daisy arose, and, dom
ming a Mother Hubbard dress, repaired to
the sitting-room and stood by the open
stove. Her dress came in contact with the
fire, and the light fabric of the garment
blazed up and enyeloped the unfortunate
woman in q mantle of fame. With
piercing shrieks she turned to
run, when Edward Kennedy, another
inmate of the house, spraDg from the
couch, and seizing blanket wrapped it
around the woman endeavoiiDg to quench
the flames. The woman, who was of big
frame, in her agony tore herself from Ken
nedy's grasp, and with awful screams ran
about the room. Kennedy then seized q
pail OF water and drencbed Daisy, who
sank wriihing and shrieking to the floor.
She was placed on bed, her body Invested
of burnt shreds OF clothing, and medical
assistance summoned. It was found that
the entire body had been roasted and there
was little semblanee to a human being in
the scarihed. raw mass OF flesh, now quiY-
ering with intense agony. The flesh ON
the body fell off at the touch, and it was
evident little could be done TO relieve the
sufferer At noon the woman expired after
most terrible torture

sense the bill is practically an enactment
of the common law, as far as the regula-
ton of prices is concerned. 1t has tend
ency to protect railroads from competition
with each other, and to that extent denies
to the shipper any advantage of availing
himself of competition. The general dis
position of railroads is to obey the law
carefully, as far as they can understand il.
The friends of the bill did not agree as to
its construction in Congress, and there
seems to be the same variety of opinion
regarding its meaning by outsiders"
DO you think the transcontinental rail-
way will be settled when the bill becomes

crease of 400 pounds in the potato yield OF
an eighth Of an acre resulted from treat
ment OF fourteen pounds of copperas. 1t
gave as good crop of turnips as did guano

the yield of field of hay. Good results
were also obtained with onions, beans and

SALE OF A RAILROAD.

The Richmond Terminal Company Pur-
chase the Baltimore and Ohio Road.
CHICAGO March 1Qth.-The gentleman
who claimed to have seen the original con-
tract for the sale of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad is authority for the following
statement: The plan for the consolidation
of various railroad interests grew out of the
efforts of Jay Gould to induce Robert Gar
rett to pool the business of the Baltimore
and Ohio Telegraph Company with that of
the Western Union, and Garrett absolutely
refused to become party to such an ar
rangement, and declared he would ALWAYS
keep his business under his own control :;
that the telegraph and railroad interests
were identical, and that they shou' d con
tinue so as long as he controlled them: but
at the same time he intimated that he was
inclined to free himself of business cares bv
the absolute sale of the controlling interest
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. which
would carry with 1t the control of the tele-
graph and express companies. With this
hint as basis, the negotiators returned to
New York and formed a syndicate com
posed as follows: Calvin G. Brice, Alfred
Sully, Austin Corbin, John g. Moore, Gen
eral Samuel Thomas, II. c. Fieenstook !;
Winslow, Lanier q Co., and ]. P Pace. A
contract was then framed, in which Garrett
agreed TO transfer to the syndicate the
controlling interest in the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, withing thirty days, for
16,000,0 600, forfeiture being deposited by
Garrett The contract was shown to Gould
Saturday. 1t is understood that the tele-
graph business is to go to the Western
Union Company and the express business
to the Adams Express Company.

fact that most smokers prefer mild cigar, and

bility, asthma, etc, and who have tried all pos
sible remedies without success, might be cured
if they knew that their suferings were caused
by the Incorporate use of strong cigars, and
that they should only smoke mild and properly
prepared ones.
1t is fact that not all mild cigars agree well
with smokers, for in most cases there is a lack
of care in the selection of the tobacco and often
the necessary experience for it is wanting. yet
there is one brand which suis the most fas-
tidious smoker, and that is
